Facelift for Dambana roads

Irangika RANGE

The Ports and Highways Ministry will develop the road network in Dambana without obstructing the traditional lifestyles of indigenous people.

Nine roads in the area will be reconstructed on a request by Veddha chieftain Wanniyaleththo.

A proper drainage system will also be constructed for the indigenous people living in Dambana, Ports and Highways Deputy Minister Nirmala Kothalawela said.

A stretch of 30km of road will be developed under this programme.

The entire road network, neglected for decades without maintenance and rehabilitation, will get a face lift under this programme.
